I was born in Yorkshire, as were my parents, grand parents ,great grand parents, great great grandparents etc back until the 17th century, so don't tell me how to make Yorshire puddings. Letting it stand makes no difference at all :evil:

The bit about using beef dripping (lard) and getting it smoking is spot on. But before anyone ponces on about putting the batter in a baking tray divided into individual portions, please, understand, you are obviously a southerner. It comes as a huge stodgy mass in a roasting tray. Don't bother to argue, you are demonstrably wrong if you do :LOL:
:D

Glad we agree Eddie.

I don't think we've ever disagreed, have we?

No, we've never disagreed, until I tell you that... I have lots of family in Lancashire.

As for the wedding bells, it ain't me and Eddie who have been flirting.
 
yorkshire pudding....not actually pudding, right?
and pancakes are the same as here? or no?
 
Yorkshire pudding is a flour-based thing that you cook in the oven with (or under) your roast beef. You eat it with (or before) the meat and gravy. If you serve it before the meat, it's a trick you fill you up, if times are hard and there isn't much meat to go round your family of 14.

What are biscuits and gravy?

UK pancakes are not the same, we have a different sort of flour. They are thin and don't get that cake-like texture. Bit like french crepes.

with which one...the pan or the cake :?:

???

we don't eat UK pancakes with eggs and bacon. We don't eat eggs and bacon with syrup. Is that what you meant? We eat Yorkshire puds with roast beef (but might use up any leftovers).

Why lah di dah?
 
Sometimes, if we want to indulge in exotic foreign foods, some of us buy betty crocker mix and maple syrup and eat american pancakes with bacon and eggs. This is not common.
 
sorry ....if I come across as nasty....don't mean it like it "sounds"....maybe its just the difference in there and here....but are the foods I eat...burgers, fries, pork chops, corn on cob, macaroni and cheese....are they really just eaten here where I am?....

and for the record...in case you care...pancakes with syrup
and bacon and eggs---in their separate places on the plate...not all together. :)
 
Ha ha! French people won't eat corn on the cob, because they grow a (slightly different) variety and use it as cattle feed. We don't often grow maize in UK because the climate is not very good for it, but eat it occasionally.

Lots of people eat burgers and chips.

Sometimes people eat macaroni cheese.

People do eat pork chops but ?not very often? (personal taste?). Germans eat more pork, including (sometimes) Schweinhachse (?sp?) (pigs trotters) which have fallen out of favour here, and probably end up in pork pies (speciality) or sausages. British sausages are different from other European sausages. Generally European sausages are made of meat, approx 100% but UK sausages are allowed to contain water, bread, added fat, minced skin, crushed bone, and meat. Obviously we've got used to them like that.

I'm very fond of mashed potato. Northern Europeans tend to eat more potato and animal fats and drink beer, Southern Europeans tend to eat more pasta and vegetable oils and drink wine. As we usually travel to each other's countries on holiday we develop tastes for other's lifestyles. We also (in most of Western and some Central Europe) we have a free market with no import or export taxes or restrictions, hooray (subject to quality standards, which e.g. British sausages don't meet).

Splutters into morning coffee :eek: Remind me, where is Lancashire? ..........................Oh yeah I remember, wrong side of the Pennines. :D Could re-enact the war of the roses with Lancashire Hot Pot served with Yorkshire pudding.
